hp scanjet 3970

My hp scanjet 3970 turns on, but how do I get a scan?

I him have not used for some time, and at the age of 76 years old, I became a little distracted.

I use Windows 8.1, Firefox and an ACER laptop.

When I turn on the sheet for the scanner, the scanner bed lights up, in other words, the scanner is well connected to the system, but what is the next step please get a scan?

Unfortunately, I don't have an icon for my scanner when I go into the control panel.

Thank you very much.

  • Strips of color scanning with scanjet 3970

    Hello. After several years of work very well, my scanjet 3970 is a failure. When I scan it shows on the screen preview and saved file bands colored in the picture. I use Win XP and the latest drivers. The problem also arises when I scan from any twain app or Win XP "scanner and camera" Control Panel app.

    The problem has nothing to do with the effects of moiré or any type of effect of ground and also appears when you scan a page completely black or white.

    Anyone know a fix or I buy a new scanner?

    You can try the Vista drivers from HP site

  • 3970 scanner and Yosemite

    I use a MacBook Pro, and I have a Scanjet 3970 is fine.  But when I went to download Yosemite, new Apple operating system, I got a message saying that the connection of Power PC with my scanner no longer works.  Is there any solution for this?

    In the past, Apple must approve the driver for the scanner, before the new operating system can interact.  It has been a problem for a while, whenever the operating system is updated.  Wait that the pilot is approved before installing the upgrade to Yosemite.  If you upgrade until the driver gets approved, the scanner part will not work.  I came across this several years previously, is not something new to Apple and scanners.

  • HP Photosmart 2610xi with Win7

    I have a Photosmart 2610xi as my default printer on my HP Pavilion, USB connection, network printer. Everything works fine, except the scan. I ran printing & scanning doctor and tried several times to download the update of 380 mb software, which failed in the last 6 seconds of download 15 minutes each time, even with my Norton360 off.

    When I jumped this download, I got an error of WIA, which I think I checked out under 'Run', 'services.msc' and it seemed to work fine, I think. At this stage, I need a grandson...

    Help?

    The recommended solution was too complicated for my computer skills limited.

    However, I found a work-by-turn.  I installed the 2003 HP Scanjet 3970 since an old CD software intended to be used with Win XP 64 bit. Win7 did not recognize the old scanner flat, that I was hooked, but instead, woke the Photosmart printer, which was what I was trying to trouble in the first place.

  • hp scanjet 3800 no power

    I write in the right section?  I'm not sure. The site is really complicated and not easy to deal with.

    I have my scanjet hp model 3800, it used to work until suddenly collapsed for unknown reasons.

    my attempts: I connect it to a power source (I tried a few different), but it does nothing to show me that his life, is not even a light... nothing.

    My guess is that something is worng with the power to control device inside the scanner (any ), maybe it burned to the top for some reason any.

    now, what should I do?

  • ScanJet g4050 not compatible with El Capitan

    ScanJet g4050 no longer works with El Capitan. I have iMac and on the update of OS X 10.11 the scanner stopped communicating with the computer.

    Any suggestions?

    Finally, I contacted HP.  They are aware of the problem. They said they no longer support scanjet G4050. However, they recommend a third-party software that can be downloaded on the net. BUT you will have to pay the money.

    That's what they said:

    The solution that we recommend is VueScan. http://www.Hamrick.com/VueScan/hp_scanjet_g4050.html

    If you pay 80 USD for the software of theVueScan get the scammer as he was running, or buy a new scanner.

    This is the case!

  • Windows 7 will not recognize driver for HP Scanjet 5370c scanner

    I was not able to get Windows 7 to recognize the driver for my HP Scanjet scanner on my new HP Pavilion Elite a9200z desktop computer.  I tried to install the original driver delivered with the software that not only failed, but it was necessary to do a system restore to an earlier date.  After downloading the software update and the driver on the HP website (for the XP operating system. (No), the software successfully installed but Device Manager said there is no driver installed.  I tried Udating driver in Device Manager, but none were found on the system.  I'm afraid that because the driver is not signed by HP, this is perhaps the reason that the system will not recognize it.  I do not receive a message about the driver being made and has been disabled.

    Where would the driver have been installed under Windows and what would be the name of the file?  Is it possible to install a driver that has not been signed on Windows 7, even though I know that it comes directly from the manufacturer.  I came on this forum that says HP email support is no longer in effect for this scanner.  Scanner was working fine under Windows XP.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    Thank you for your response.  I posted the same question to the Board of Directors Microsoft as well.  One of the technicians gave me a link to a website that has software in support of scanners which pilots the manufacturer has not, for some reason, took worth to upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7.  I installed Vuescan driver bundled with the program which works perfectly, and my scanner HP Scanjet scanner 5370c is upward and great in Windows 7.  They have a list of more than 100 scanners supported by the program.  So, anyone interested should check the list before you buy the program.  No, the program is not free, but it is much cheaper ($39.95) that pitching on a scanner perfectly ideal of work and having to buy a new one.    Anyway, if anyone is interested in the possibility of using their scanner ' is no longer supported "with Windows 7, the website below might help.

  • ScanJet 7400c - does not work after firmware update.

    From scratch.

    Windows XP sp3

    HP PrecisionScan Pro 3.02 software installed.

    then add the update of the firmware.8s which is supposed to fix some problems. One being a squeak in certain situations. A problem I had met.

    Otherwise the scanner worked fine.

    now it doesn't work at all. Scanner displays 'error 07' at any time, it is asked to do something. Also get the message scanner could not be initialized Scanner not found)

    What really bothers me is that it worked before the updates.

    Now, nothing.

    I tried to reload the updates, then tap, disconnect, restart the process.

    Is the Junk to scan?

  • HP Scanjet 4300C compatibility with Windows 7

    I did an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 and my scanner HP Scanjet 4300C seems to be properly installed in Windows 7, but nothing happens when I try to scan.

    In the Panel, the Scanner seems to work, but when I try to add a scanning profile I get the error "unable to initioalize the selected scanner. The test of the scanner button is also disabled and the scanner does not appear in 'My computer' as a scanning device.

    I think there may be an updated driver to resolve this problem? The scanner was working fine under Windows XP.

    Hope you can help me.

    Thanks to this post, I figured out how to get the scanner software and the driver installed and working on Windows 7 32 bit.

    Here are the directions:

    1. If your scanner is connected to your computer (USB) uninstall by using Device Manager, do not forget to check the box that says "remove driver." And unplug the USB when it is uninstalled.  When I did this had never installed the software previously in my Windows 7 operating system.

    2. download the sj657 Installer packed HP. http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/generic...=reg_R1002_USEN
    Unzip it into a folder.  If you double-click on the downloaded file, it will attempt to open the file of configuration automatically and you will get a message saying that the software only works on Windows 98, etc.  Just cancel and go to the folder (default location is C:sj657) and proceed to the next step.

    3. Select the "setup" application and right-click on it to get properties, replace the XP compatibility (I have service pack 2). Then run the TI and click 'OK' on all Windows 7 warnings.

    4. go in the folder Hewlett-Packard now in your directory Program Files, there will be a folder "HP Precisionscan". It will be the only unless you have to other HP products. Open the Precisionscan LTX folder and change all the apps XP compatibility.  I have also verified that the administrator checkbox on each app (there are several) just in case.

    5 restart your computer.

    6 plug in your scanner via USB and let in install.  Windows 7 should give you a notice that your C 4300 has been installed successfully.

    The scanner now works using the LTX software installed on your computer. The buttons on the front do not seem to work, or can do you something with it by going to 'scanners and cameras' in your control panel. BUT in the case otherwise, it seems to work great and all the features are there in the LTX software.

    My old C 4300 (I bought this probably nearly a decade) is somehow better than a newer scanner that I bought last year.

    Hi JoeBusu,

    Try the 3rd party software VueScan which seems to support your scanner:

  • HP Scanjet G4010 Windows 7 software problem

    I recently updated my computer to Windows 7 and installed the latest drivers and software for my old scanjet G4010.  It will scan using the button on the scanner, but I can't adjust scanning settings (picture of quality, where the harvest, etc.).

    BUT the scanner software does not work. This brings me through the installer without any problems until it reaches the actual scan wick. By clicking on finish, there is no process of scanning, and nothing is recorded. Have you tried several places, but... nothing.  Not in a satisfactory way, such that it has reduced what was a versatile workhorse to a silent photocopier.

    Is there a solution?

    Hi Paul2001,

    I understand that since the upgrade your OS to Windows 7, you are no longer able to use the scanning software.

    I would like that you start here: 'No. Scan Options' or "scan settings are not defined", that will guide you through the troubleshooting steps and also the possible solutions.

    I would like to know if it was useful, if you have more questions please let me know.

    Thank you

    I'm looking for a Windows 7 driver on my 4600p scanjet, because I intend to move from Windows XP to Windows 7 now.

    Hi Poulladehoff,

    These programs use the Windows drivers. Connect the scanner to the computer automatically installs the Windows drivers. It should work with Microsoft Office as well as Paint.

    It would be a sort of trial and error of the thing.

    Hope it will be useful.
